You might value expression of sexuality above expression of religion. I don't. Lots of folks don't. Apparently, the court didn't.
It wasn't so much about expression of sexuality as it was uncertainty over their sexual orientation and perceived homosexuality. The court's ruling makes sense but that doesn't negate the fact that religious practices are challenged all the time.

Some of these religious denominations pretended that the Bible declared racism, lynching, and segregation as God's Will. Some also said that a man beating his wife was justified under God's Will and could show you a Scripture.

For those that no longer teach that, the change happened somehow and with prompting from somewhere.
